About This Pub
Ah, The Stonebow Pub in York – it's one of those places that just draws you in with its warm, inviting atmosphere, especially if you're a fan of watching the footie or rugby with a cold one in hand. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff are top-notch; they're quick to make you feel right at ease, whether you're there for a quick bite or a full evening out. The food's a real highlight too – think hearty portions of pub classics that won't break the bank, and it's all served up in a way that makes you want to linger a bit longer. Plus, being family and dog-friendly means it's perfect for those laid-back days when you fancy bringing the kids or the pooch along for the fun. On the flip side, though, it's got that modern look which doesn't quite blend with the charming old buildings nearby, so it might not satisfy if you're craving a more traditional Yorkshire pub experience. And watch out for the opening times, as they seem a tad muddled in places – nothing a quick call can't sort, mind you. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good time with mates, offering that balance of excitement and relaxation without any fuss.

Sophie was exaptational! Showing very competent, effective and comforting real life situational judgement, she got a very good grasp of the discomfort a individual was putting me and my friend in. Showing exceptional managerial quality's, in professionally dealing with the scenario presented. She was very capable in seeing the high level of discomfort we were in and very effectively and efficiently took control of the situation. Perfectly articulating the discomfort we were in to the individual.

Came to York with the family popped in here to watch the football. We ended up having food and a few drinks. Atmosphere was great. Food was lovely and the staff were very friendly. All in all a very nice pub with very nice staff
The Stonebow Pub is a modern building somewhat out of keeping with the old buildings nearby. I thought I would give it a try as I've been past it plenty of times. It has a modern feel inside. There's no pool table, but there is a dart board and TVs for watching Sport. There is a wide selection of beers, lager and cider, including two hand pulled cask conditioned real ales, which were in excellent condition when I visited. I haven't tried the food but the pub was very busy with a lot of people dining and the meals did look very tempting. The staff are very friendly and welcoming it's a nice place, next time i would like to try the food.
Ellie behind the bar has excellent customer service taking time to ensure each person was catered for and taking an interest in them personally. Amazing customer service
The food and drinks were excellent, with large portions and very reasonably priced. Friendly prompt service. We enjoyed a live band. The atmosphere was really laid back but lively enough. Definitely recommend.
